The EEOC alleged that Aimee Doneyhue was fired in retaliation for complaining about the gender discrimination. If you, like Aimee, think that you may be a victim of gender discrimination – get help now.
Both male and female workers are protected from sex discrimination under California and federal law. Sex discrimination occurs when a worker is treating differently because of their gender in relation to any of the terms and conditions of employment. “Terms and conditions” of employment include mostly anything that is work related. Some examples include salary, vacation time, title, schedule, hours worked, etc.
There are two basic types of gender discrimination. The first type of gender discrimination is called “disparate treatment.” This type of discrimination is relatively straight forward and it occurs when an employee is treated differently because of their sex. The second type of discrimination is more complicated. This type of discrimination is called “disparate impact” discrimination. “Disparate impact” discrimination occurs when a company policy tends to exclude one sex/gender from a particular job or a promotion. The policy wasn’t enacted for this purpose, it was solely the unfortunate side-effect.
